I'd suggest looking into k8s. It's definitely a bit more complex on the start, but so much more power once you get to the details. VMs you don't share the base OS layer and the hardware, you have to pre-define the resources you need per app in a more constrained manner, while containers can move freely in their little sandbox to pickup whatever it needs.
It is also much easier to manage replicas, upgrades, scale and a bunch of other things once you are using containers and an orchestrator like Kubernetes. Let me know if you need any help/insights. I've been trying to post more videos/answers about things that could be complicated.
